Kitesurf Atlas

Brazil (Portuguese: Brasil) is the largest country in South America. Famous for its soccer tradition and its annual carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Recife and Olinda, it is a country of great diversity. From the bustling urban mosaic of São Paulo to the infinite cultural energy of Pernambuco and Bahia, the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest and world-class landmarks such as the Iguaçu Falls, there is plenty to see and to do in Brazil.

Brazil has a reciprocal visa policy with all countries including the United States, meaning that whenever prices and restrictions increase on Brazilians visiting the US, Brazil adopts the same measures for American visitors. As of March 2007, the current cost is 110 USD to 170 USD for a 90-day visa (plus up to $90 for an agency to handle getting you the visa), but check before you travel in case of another increase. If you live close enough to the embassy or consulate for your area (other regions won't accept application), you can go in person, but you must go two times about one week apart. Don't forget they are closed on Brazilian holidays as well as those of your country.
When you are travelling from certain tropical regions to Brazil you need a yellow fever vaccination and the certificate showing you had this.
It is illegal to bring in animals, meat, dairy, seeds, plants, eggs, honey, fruit, or any kind of non-processed food without a permit. Contact vigiagro@agricultura.gov.br for more information.
